Provide method to determine how many drawers are installed in a z16 CEC. (Or future CECs)

We use BCPii interfaces to create dashboard concerning our CEC environments.  It would be nice to have all data concerning a CEC be accessible.  In particular we would like to be able to tell how many drawers are in a CEC.  (MAXxx type info).

    Since we did not get a response from customer for clarification, we will move forward assuming the request is for CEC drawer count in a z16 CPC via BCPii.
